Photographic exhibition by Stanislava Perlínová on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the birth of sculptor Olbram Zoubek, who worked for many years in Salmovská Street in Prague 2. Stanislava Perlínová has captured the sculptor at work in his studio in a series of photographs taken between 1993 and 2014, giving us a glimpse into the creative process of the acclaimed artist, whose birth in April 2026 will be exactly 100 years ago. In Prague's public space alone, we can find more than a dozen of Zoubek's sculptures, including the memorial plaque to Jan Palach or the famous memorial to the victims of communism in Újezd.

Stanislava Perlínová (*1959, Kladno) graduated from the Gymnasium in Nové Strašecí and studied at the Faculty of Education in Ústí nad Labem. She began her professional career in 1983 as a teacher at the primary school in Kamenné Žehrovice, later working at the Primary School with Extended Language Teaching in Prague 3. In 1989 she joined the State Pedagogical Publishing House in Prague, first as a professional editor in the Slavic Languages Department, then as an art editor. From 1991 to 2022 she worked as a translator for the Police of the Czech Republic.

She has been a photographer since her university years. Together with friends and colleagues from the Faculty of Education, she participated in the first exhibitions of art works. In the 1990s she published photographs in the magazines Skauting, Podkarpatska Rus and other thematic anthologies. Her work focuses on photography from her travels in Europe and the USA, documentation of old Jewish cemeteries, reportage photographs (e.g. from the studio of Olbram Zoubek or from a rehearsal of the Prague Philharmonic) and portraits of prominent personalities. She has presented her work at a number of solo and collective exhibitions in Prague and other cities.
